Israel announced that Donald Trump will be awarded the Israel Prize for Peace in 2026, marking a historic departure from tradition. This is the first time in 80 years that Israel’s highest civilian honour will be given to a non-Israeli and also the first-ever awarding of the Peace category under the Israel Prize. The decision reflects Israel’s recognition of Trump’s role in Middle East peace initiatives and strong support for Israel’s security. The announcement followed high-level talks in Florida, underscoring continued diplomatic engagement between Israel and Trump-era leadership.
